Hello there. :')
<span>When is cladistics more useful than Linnaean taxonomy?
</span><span>D.When you want to know ancestral relationships
</span>
The answer to this is the last option i think
Answer:
The correct option is <u><em>A. they evolved from land mammals.</em></u>
Explanation:
The process of evolution explains how closely one organism is to another based on their common ancestors. Scientists believe that those organisms which show many similarities in their structures or functions might have evolved from a common ancestor in the past.
As in the above-mentioned question, scientists have observed that cetaceans lack gills and breath air, this is a property of land mammals. The cetaceans have fin bones which are similar to the limb bones. As limb bones are present in land mammals, hence they cetaceans and land mammals might have common ancestors in the past.
There are lots:
Biology and Medicine - cloning and expression of human insulin in bacteria (stopped having to produce it from pig pancreases); Watson & Crick discovery of the structure of DNA; gene therapy in humans
Chemistry - determination of the exact number of molecules in a mole (Avagadro's number); discovery of radioactivity (Rutherford); the invention of nylon (DuPont); Boyle's law (behavior of gases)
